I see you are already as timid as a slave: you might as well be in love.

I willingly allow that money does not guarantee happiness; but it must also be allowed that it makes happiness a great deal easier to achieve.

How characteristic of your perverse heart that longs only for what happens to be out of reach.

All publicity is good publicity.

I assure you that the world is not so amusing as we imagined.

It has become necessary for me to have this woman, so as to save myself from the ridicule of being in love with her: for to what lengths will a man not be driven by thwarted desire?

You may conquer her love of God: you will never overcome her fear of the devil.
